Mr. Nelson Winning His Ex-wife's Heart
Chapter 151

Chapter 151

Edmund had reasoned that Chelsea would definitely be at home since she was yet to turn in the scriptfor the play. To his disappointment, she wasn't at home.

His craving wasn't satisfied, but he had to leave since she wasn't here.

It would be embarrassing to tell her that he was craving her food now that they were divorced, soEdmund decided not to respond to her message. He wasn't sure that she would have indulged himeven if she was at home.

Chelsea waited for his response. When she didn't get a message from him, she breathed a long sigh ofrelief.

Her instincts told her that he was going to request something. She didn't know if she could fulfillwhatever he had in mind, so she was relieved due to the lack of response.

While Chelsea, Zuri, and Fay had a good time that night, the Stevenson family's household wasn'tpeaceful.

Diane had gone back to her parents' house tonight to replace out the outcome of her father's meeting withEdmund.

She was down in the dumps as she waited for Philip. She kept gazing at the entrance door. Hermother, Flora Stevenson tried to get her in a better mood. "Come on, sweetheart. You need to eat. Ifyou don't, you might fall sick. Don't you trust your father? He would handle this matter well. He would

make sure Edmund marries you. You are the epitome of beauty and class. No woman in Vertoakcomes close to you. Edmund can't marry anyone else!"

Diane continued to sulk. "Mom, you say that no woman comes close to me, but Edmund doesn't thinkthat. He likes Chelsea over me!"

Flora's tone became firmer. "You have to take my word for it, dearie. Chelsea is in the past. You andEdmund have been together for a long time. Our family and his also have a good friendship. Why willhe dump you for that nobody? Impossible!"

Despite all that her mother said, Diane was still not comforted. She got even more upset as shethought of how Edmund had been giving her the cold shoulder lately.

One of the biggest secrets that she kept from everyone, including her mother was that she andEdmund had never had sex.

No one suspected that their relationship was sexless. To the outsiders, they were a perfect couplebecause of the numerous gossip Diane had helped to spread after he spent the night with her the dayhe got married.

"Come on, have a bite of this delicious meat. Eat more." Flora pushed a plate of steak that had beencut into small chunks in front of Diane and forced her to take a bite.

All of a sudden, the front door swung open. Both women turned to look in that direction. They thoughtPhilip would spend a long time talking to Edmund over dinner. So, they were shocked that he was backthis early.

Diane immediately had a bad feeling when she saw the unhappy and cold expression on her father'sface.

It was obvious that Philip hadn't reached the desired agreement with Edmund. Her eyes instantlyturned red. Tears streamed down her cheeks a second later.

Flora hurried to her husband and asked, "Honey, why are you back so early? How did the meeting go?Were you able to reach an agreement with Edmund?"

Philip arched his eyebrows and replied, "He said that he's not suitable for Diane. He went on to say thatbeing in love doesn't equate to marriage. That guy is an ungrateful bastard. He wasted my daughter'syouthful years knowing full well that he wasn't going to marry her!"

Fury coursed through Philip's veins as he recalled all that Edmund said. He even shouted the lastsentence.

His anger made him forget that his daughter was actually the one who refused to marry Edmund andbroke up with him four years ago.

He also failed to remember that Edmund had never proposed marriage to her or said anything of thatsort in the last year.

On their part, they just assumed he was going to marry Diane after his divorce. They even thought hedivorced Chelsea because he wanted to be with the love of his life, Diane.

Never did it cross their minds that Edmund had no intentions to marry Diane. And that was why theywere disappointed and furious now.

Flora suddenly cussed out, "All the men in the Nelson family are bastards!"

Diane held her face, buried it into the sofa, and burst into tears. "Why? Why did things turn out likethis?"

She had believed that her father would be able to coerce Edmund to marry her during the dinner.

Her heart broke as she imagined Edmund saying that he wasn't going to marry her. He used to behead over heels in love with her. How could he refuse to marry her now?
